Background
History
It was one of three toll houses in Perth, the others being on the Edinburgh and Dundee Roads (the latter being the Barnhill Tollhouse). A bye-law on the building's noticeboard specified that locomotives crossing the bridge had to be preceded by a flagbearer. The law was enacted after a locomotive with spiked wheels damaged the road surface. After its original use, it was J. I. Laing's fruiter, fishmonger and poulterer (as of 1911) and J. S. Lees Fish & Poultry Shop later in its life.
